How do you get rid of fat without turning it into muscle?

soccergirl441 asked:


I have been playing soccer for 11 years and my legs are really muscly. When soccer stops, they turn back into fat. Is there a way to get rid of the fat without turning it back into muscle? I don’t want to be this huge muscly girl.

    Fat does not turn into muscle, and muscle does not turn into fat.

    You can get rid of excess fat, all over the body, by eating less and/or excercising more.

    You cannot spot remove fat in the legs.

    The best way would be pilates. Doing pilates forms very lean muscle that keeps you toned without being bulky.

    Pilates! This is made specifically to tone not build muscle. Though it can be very hard to do.

    Losing weight without starving yourself

    You don’t turn fat into muscle. You burn fat and build muscle. Keep running after soccer is over and you shouldn’t have a problem.

    Exercise and Weight Loss

    If you want your muscles to atrophy, simply lie around and eat only enough to maintain basic metabolism. It’s not very healthy but it would achieve the desired end.

    well, those muscles burn a lot more calories than fat does, so it isn’t so bad to be a “muscly girl”.
